WHAT:
Bobble, a story of courage, compassion and love
by Helen May, illustrated by Hannah Broadway
A4 paperback book, first edition

DESCRIPTION:
Bobble is a picture book for children and adults.

It's a beautiful fable designed to make a big conversation a little easier. Bobble gives us an accessible way to connect with attitudes about migration, displacement and how we can educate ourselves and those around us about the needs of refugees.

This book was inspired and produced by Asylum Speakers, an organisation providing a platform for people to share their lived experience of displacement. Asylum Speakers builds awareness, education and empathy through storytelling.

WHO IS IT FOR?:
Bobble is a picture book for children and adults.

HOW DOES IT COME?:
This book will come in a cardboard envelope to keep it flat and lovely.

THE STORY BEHIND IT :
Helen May wrote the text for Bobble back in 2021, in response to the devastating increase in people crossing the English Channel in small boats, seeking safer shores. She got in touch with Jaz from Asylum Speakers to see if she could help launch Bobble into the world.
I was invited on board to illustrate the book, and after lots of hard work & support from over 300 backers we kickstarted the publication of this book.


By supporting this project, you will help to support asylum seekers through the Asylum Speakers project, giving a voice and a platform to amplify the stories of those who have to leave their countries.
Bobble will help us educate children and adults, encouraging empathy and a better
understanding around the challenges of those experiencing displacement.
We truly believe that compassion should be sprinkled everywhere and Bobble is a meaningful, beautiful story... a little bit like giving a big literary hug.
